Description

stone mortar (carved).* One pecked decorated bowl returned from Grant County Public Utility District, Wanapum Dam Heritage Center on January 25, 1995.

Since this material was only loaned, not deaccessioned, the Grant County PUD returned it to the Burke. (L. Phillips, 1/26/95). Six incised lines from rim to base on one side. Some sor tof residue on rim and inside "bowl." (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
